Aircraft of a Russian company crashed due to the failure of two engines. This is tightly connected to sanctions imposed on the aggressor state as a result of their unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. In total, this is at least the ninth aircraft incident since the beginning of 2024. The Moscow Times reports that the plane, owned by a private individual, crashed in the mountains of Afghanistan. Today, it is becoming increasingly dangerous and expensive to fly on Russian airlines. Find out more in our news story.
